She also finds out about Colin who is afraid he has a crooked back.
Rating: Summary: My Review Review: I think you should read this book because the characters change. This book is just right for me. There are also older words in it and it took a longer time to read. There was a mystery in the story and a happy ending.

Rating: Summary: The review of.......THE SECRET GARDEN Review: I've recently read this book called the SECRET GARDEN. It's by Frances Hodgson Burnett, now in my opinion this book was really boring.This book review is by the TIFFSTER. The book was about this girl who's parents died of a disease. The girl's name was Mary, she was very self-obsorbed. She had never dressed herself, she had had a servant who had done everything for her. Soon her servant died, and she got another one. She did not like the new servant. So the servant ran away like most of the other ones, they had run from the terror of dying. mary was left all alone, forgotten of, uncared for. Finally one day two officers came into the nursery of which she was sitting. They took her to the English clergymans house. She did not like it there, he had five children. That is where they nick-named her Miss Mary Quite Contrary. She left, and went to her uncle's house and that is where she stayed. Now from what I just wrote you might think that this book is very interesting, and to you it might be, but for me it wasn't. Some parts of the story got really off track and if it wasn't off track it was really boring. Now I will give the author props on giving detail but in alot of places there were way to many details. But that is just what I think, but let me tell you I was glad when I finished. So read the SECRET GARDEN........ If You Dare.

Rating: Summary: A great book for anyone who reads it. Review: A girl called Mary moves to a great manor and she goes wandering around the hundreds of locked doors and many corridors. She also goes around the many gardens, through the kitchen gardens.Then she hears about a garden that has been locked up for years. No one knows where the key is or even the door. Mary is from India and doesn't like many people she sees. Dickon is a moor boy who makes friends with many animals. Colin is the master of the manor's son. He is extremely sick and also has a weak back. He too has a bad temper. This book has people talking in Yorkshire and at first it can be difficult to read but, you soon get used to it. This is a great book for all ages. It is full of mystery and is very interesting and also in some places it can be funny too. This is a great book for anyone to reads it, I hope you like it as much as I do.

Rating: Summary: the worst book ever Review: i read 'the secret garden' for my summer reading, and it was the worst book i ever read. it was boring, and a major problem concerning collin (i wont give it away for those of you who haven't read it) was resolved MUCH too easily. i dont think it was for people like me, who enjoys comedy. but, then again, i only know what i think. i would rather just watch the movie (of course, not for my summer reading), that way you can stop in the middle if you want:)
Rating: Summary: good in serveral media Review: When Mary Lennox's parents die in India, she is shipped back to England to live on her uncle's estate, Misselthwaite Manor, in Yorkshire. The place is pretty much run by the dreadful Mrs. Medlock, while Mary's uncle travels compulsively. Lord Archibald Craven is trying to escape the memories that linger there, of his wife who died in childbirth.Mary is a sullen brat but she is largely ignored by Mrs. Medlock and so has time to explore the many nooks and crannies of the manor. She finds one room that looks just like her mother's did--it is of course her aunt's--and there finds a large key. It turns out that the key fits the door of a secret garden, which Lady Craven tended and which is now kept locked and allowed to grow wild. Mary befriends young Dickon, whose sister is a housemaid, and together they explore the garden. One night Mary determines to find the source of a mysterious crying she's heard in the house, and when she eventually does she discovers her cousin, Colin, who survived his mother but is now sickly, crippled and confined to his room. He proves an even worse brat than she. Their mutual stubbornness though proves a boon as she refuses to accept Colin's self-pitying and rejects the idea that he's truly all that ill. She sets her mind to showing him the garden, convinced that just getting outside will do him good. Meanwhile, he threatens and commands the staff until they allow him out of the house. Their visits to the garden will in fact transform all of their lives in ways that will move even the most jaded reader. No wonder it is such a beloved classic. It's a marvelous book about the curative powers of love and nature and the will. It's also a delight to read aloud or listen to in the car thanks to the broad Yorkshire dialect, and the Agnieszka Holland film version is not only beautiful and loyal to the original story, it is also available quite cheap on DVD.
